European Open Science Cloud Portal
The European Open Science Cloud is an EU-funded infrastructure to facilitate the development of tools and resources for data analysis, data storage, computation, training and security.
The Social Sciences & Humanities Open Marketplace was launched in 2022 to provide "tools, services, training materials, datasets, publications and workflows." (This is the successor to the 2019-2022 SSHOC initiative).
The EOSC Future project gives researchers access to a variety of research resources and coordinated support services, such as those in the Open Clouds for Research Environments (OCRE) index.
EOSC has six components:
- An architecture to address fragmentation by federating existing infrastructures
- Data management tools to make research data FAIR: findable, accessible, interoperable and re-usable (see the EC publication Turning FAIR into Reality)
- Services to meet user needs
- Interfaces and mechanisms to access EOSC
- Rules of participation for scientists and administrators
- Governance of EOSC - consisting of a Governance Board, an Executive Board and Stakeholders Forum (see the EC publication Prompting EOSC in Practice).
Coverage varies and is indicated for each data resource indexed under EOSC.
